Torture of the Christian Martyrs

The legendary treatise on how so many died at the hands of Roman and Pagan aggressors. In good Catholic fashion, the work is heavy on the descriptions, showing who and how and where they died, with attention paid to each and every sin, in graphic detail... with loads of illustrations. Also included: the odd mention of positive things one or another of the martyrs might have done. Not so much as you'd notice, but it's there.
